Boy those are old handles from the past. I was lurking at that time and didn’t join until November.

Ha, 1.2 gig hard drives for FR storage? That’s what I had in the box I used back then. Cost $289+tax at Best Buy. After that, I learned to wait 6 months after the bottom fell out of the mem market. I bought a 8 mb 72 pin chip for $182 and right after you could have bought it for $12. No comment, I still feel the burn...as I bought 2.

Talk about stepping back in a time warp! And the lazy people who wouldn’t turn off their font formatting. LOL!
